It’s sad to say but when do you draw the line?
… when it’s beyond your reach?
… when it’s beyond your care?
… or, when it is beyond your keen?
…
sometimes you just have to cut your losses?

My life is over,
Day is done.
You can say more,
but you can not give me “extra innings”.
Nor would I want them.
When the game is irretrievable,
extending the game is insanity!
Best be done,
and move on to the next one.

“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” – Aristotle
# – # – #
But, BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), you can NOT know yourself.
At different points in time, you are a different person.
At different levels (i.e, id, ego and superego), you are a different person.
And, depending upon how you define yourself visa vi dikw (i.e., data, information, knowledge, wisdom), you are different person.
So, with all deference to Señor Aristotle, and he must have been a high IQ guy, “knowing yourself” is unknowable.
imho!

Japan’s Radiation Disaster Toll: None Dead, None Sick
by Soulskill
An anonymous reader writes “This article discusses a recently-released U.N. Scientific Committee report which examined the health effects of the accident at the Fukushima nuclear plant. Their conclusion: ‘Radiation exposure following the nuclear accident at Fukushima-Daiichi did not cause any immediate health effects. It is unlikely to be able to attribute any health effects in the future among the general public and the vast majority of workers. … No radiation-related deaths or acute effects have been observed among nearly 25,000 workers involved at the accident site. Given the small number of highly exposed workers, it is unlikely that excess cases of thyroid cancer due to radiation exposure would be detectable.’ The article even sums up the exposure levels for the workers who were closest to the reactor: ‘Of 167 exposed to more than the industry’s recommended five-year limit of 100 mSv (a CT scan exposes patients to up to 10 mSv), 23 recorded 150-200 mSv, three 200-250 mSv and six up to 678 mSv, still short of the 1000 mSv single dosage that causes radiation sickness, or the accumulated exposure estimated to cause a fatal cancer years later in 5 per cent of people.’ The report also highlights the minute effect it’s had on the environment: ‘The exposures on both marine and terrestrial non-human biota were too low for observable acute effects.'”

I hope this correct and not “biased” by Gooferment.
If it is, then despite a huge blunder nuke energy makes sense.
Only if we trust the dikw (i.e., data, information, knowledge, wisdom) we are receiving, then we should be pushing nuke versus carbon as our civilization’s savior.

There’s something wistful about a basement. I only remember two or three. In NYC apartment, they were disgusting. In my Grand Aunt’s country home, there was a store room of canned and jarred food. In my Air Force days, the Mom of the girl one of my friend’s was dating, was pantry store house of all array of things — neat, clean, and uber organized. Maybe I’ll have one when I eventually move to NH?

WSJ/NBC News Poll: Scandals Prompt Doubts About Honesty
Recent controversies surrounding the Internal Revenue Service and other government agencies have sown doubts about the honesty of the Obama administration, but most people don’t hold the president personally responsible for the agency actions, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds.
A majority of poll respondents, some 55%, said IRS scrutiny of conservative groups raised some level of doubt about the administration’s “overall honesty and integrity.”

Seriously?
Why is it so low?
I’d have bet it would have been in the high 70’s.
Oh yeah, “low information voters”.
Argh!

Understanding Liberals and Progressives
by Walter E. Williams
*** begin quote ***
In order to understand the liberal and progressive agenda, one must know something about their world vision and values. Let’s examine some of the evidence.
Why the 1970s struggle to ban DDT? Alexander King, founder of the Malthusian Club of Rome, wrote in a 1990 biographical essay: “My own doubts came when DDT was introduced for civilian use. In Guyana, within two years, it had almost eliminated malaria, but at the same time the birth rate had doubled. So my chief quarrel with DDT, in hindsight, is that it has greatly added to the population problem.”
Dr. Charles Wurster, former chief scientist for the Environmental Defense Fund, was once asked whether he thought a ban on DDT would result in the use of more dangerous chemicals and more malaria cases in Sri Lanka. He replied: “Probably. So what? People are the cause of all the problems. We have too many of them. We need to get rid of some of them, and (malaria) is as good a way as any.”
According to Earthbound, a collection of essays on environmental ethics, William Aiken said: “Massive human diebacks would be good. It is our duty to cause them. It is our species’ duty, relative to the whole, to eliminate 90 percent of our numbers.”

Sorry but that is sad!
DO they think so little of human beings that they can discard them so thoughtlessly?
